One of the Top Wii games ever! August 15, 2008
Megs
I bought this game not to long ago, and had extremely high expectations for it, since everyone seems to be going on about how amazing it was. I was nervous it wouldn't be as good as I was hoping it would, but I was so happy to find out it is. I have a hand cramp from playing it so much. It uses all the features of the Wii remote flawlessly, and it is so much fun to play. It is fairly easy to get the hang of, but still presents a challenge as a game. I would recommend this to everyone that they buy it. It is by far one of the best games out there for the Wii
Best Wii game yet January 9, 2008

Super Mario Galaxy beats out Metroid Prime 3, and Twillight Princess for best game. The core gameplay is here from the previous Mario games, you might wonder if the controls might not be good, but they're the same, which is a welcoming relief. The only time it might get confusing is when you are running around a rotating planet, and the camera angle switches.
This game also has limited functions of the Wii Remote, but not so much that it feels gimmicky, which is a nice touch. Nintendo has done this to death with the DS in some titles, but they thankfully don't do any gimicks here.
This game is large... so don't worry about if you'll finish it quickly. There is 120 stars, the first 60 are for casual fans, but then the game gets much tougher for the latter 60, for veterans of the Mario series.
There is some levels which are mini games, these are a nice break from the normal 3-starred levels, since they all only have 1 star to collect, so once you beat them, there is no point, except if you want to beat the time record.
I have a complaint though, why can't we play as Luigi for the second player? Even though this game has co-op it is weak. The other player mainly just helps player 1 collect star bits, the game's currency and weapon. That's basically it, other than being able to stun enemies, and making Mario preform super jumps. It would of been a blast if you could also play as Luigi. Sure, it might of made the game go by faster, but it also would've boosted this game's popularity by the hundreds, and it is easy to see why.
The graphics look amazing, normally people only think that the Wii is average at creating graphics... rivaled only by Metroid Prime 3, these are the best graphics on the console, with an amazing musical score to boast.
You should get this game, treasure it, and say good bye to many hours of your life.
5/5
Super Game! January 2, 2008

This game is loads of fun and very challenging. It starts off fairly easy, and the game also gives you lots of instruction. As the game progresses the challenge increases and so does the fun.
Great surround sound, and it makes good use of the capabilities of the Wii controllers, like shaking the controllers to spin, and holding the controller upright to navigate while riding a ball. I thought that was really fun, really unique!
Buy it now! You shant be disappointed..Whoooo hooo

I never played Super Mario 64, the game that most platform fans breathlessly compare to Super Mario Galaxy. I understand that SM64 was revolutionary in its 3D approach and was true to the Super Mario formula. However, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Super Mario Galaxy does live up to the reputation of its predecessors.
The game's intro is a nice bit of animation, something that I've not seen in a Mario game before. Before long, you're running, jumping, and transversing entire worlds in a few leaps and bounds. The game neatly uses the Wii control scheme to its advantage: shake your controller up and down, and you'll swing around a vine. Shake it side to side, and Mario will spin, knocking around your enemies. Once you pick up a turtle shell, you "throw" your remote overhand, similar to pitching in Wii Sport's baseball game.
Each of the galaxies (consisting of one to five levels) has a different them: one is a spacious garden, one is underwater, another is a haunted house, and so on. There are also unique powerups that work slightly differently from past Mario games: you can get fireballs, turn into Ice Mario (and skate over water rather than swim in it), turn into a Bee (and fly!), for example. Some of these powerups, like Ice and Fire Mario, are time limited: think of the Star invulnerability power-up in Super Mario 1, 3, and World. It's somewhat frustrating for the fireball powerup to only last for fifteen seconds, *and* you can only get these powerups in certain galaxies (you can't get the bee powerup outside of a specific bee galaxy, for example).
Those are my biggest complaints with the game, and honestly, they're not much. The game is colourful, vibrant, and packed with interesting characters and locations. Certainly, it's a terrific game in the Mario tradition, and one definitely not to be missed. One quick caveat: some people who experience motion sickness/vertigo while playing games should avoid this one, as it can definitely be nausea-inducing.

As I type this review, I have little feeling in my left thumb because of the callous I have developed from the nunchuk as a result of playing this game so much.
I love this game because it is visually stunning, funny, easy to figure out, and fun to play.
This is a beautiful game. The developers have figured out how to make a game enjoyable to look at by giving it a lush, colourful, landscape and lots of shiny, shimmering, furry, and bright characters and backgrounds. Even when I'm not playing I enjoy watching the screen.
The characters are ridiculously cute. Seriously. They make funny noises and even the things that kill you are adorable. I feel guilty killing such lovable creatures, but then I'm rewarded with coins and star bits so I get over it...
I've heard that Nintendo likes the games they develop to be easy enough to figure out that anyone can navigate their way through the game, but also filled with opportunities to take different, more challenging routes for more experienced gamers.
I find this to be the case with Super Mario Galaxy. I am able to quickly go through the levels if I don't want to explore and just want to stay alive or move on to the next level. When I have more time to dedicate or more back up lives to spare, I can go to different places in the game that are harder to get to and rack up extra points. I like this about the game. I can choose whether or not to kill the enemies, but either way I can still advance. This is nice if more than one person in a house will be playing the game. There are many ways to play it and all are valid. My friend will have a completely different experience playing it than I will because we choose to explore different parts of the game.
I have silly fun playing this game. There are several elements of play such as shooting, maze-like games, finding hidden objects, flying, and the usual jumping on enemies for coins and other rewards. It's great for people with short attention spans.
I recommend this game for anyone that has enjoyed Mario games in the past. I think this is their best one in many years and it makes excellent use of the Wii platform's capabilities.
Have fun with this game, and remember to massage your thumb afterwards...
